ATTENTION: All full-time students are required to reside in on-campus housing unless you are age 21 before or during the term, living at home with your parents within a 50-mile radius from WCU, you are married, or you have dependent children who live with you. Students in need of housing accommodations due to a medical condition or disability should email
housing@wmcarey.edu, in addition to the
Office of Disability Services.
To be able to participate in the housing application process you must apply and be accepted to the University through the Office of Admissions.
Online Application Process:
After you’ve been accepted, granted access to University systems, and set up your Indigo Portal, you may apply for on-campus housing.
Click on the Manage My Housing link in Indigo Portal to access the housing management portal (THDSS). Log onto THDSS using your WCU student credentials (student email address and password).
Complete the Housing Application & Prepayment
A $150 prepayment is required to finalize your application. Prepayment is payable online via credit card. From your THDSS homepage, click on the Applications & Housing Agreement tab. Select and complete the appropriate Housing Application and Housing Agreement based on the trimester you wish to begin residing on campus (Fall, Winter, Spring).
Review your Email Confirmation for Next Steps

William Carey University reserves the right to enter into any university owned housing, or any student's automobile that is on campus, whether or not the student is a boarding student, with or without the student's presence, for the purpose of maintenance, repairs, inspections, health, safety, fire reasons, or with the reasonable belief that a Federal/State law or University policy has been violated. The search must be made by two or more University officials or security officers. Any evidence related to a violation of any law or university policy that is found in such searches may be seized. In the event that any items are seized, an itemized list of such items will be prepared at the conclusion of the search and signed by all officials present and a copy provided to the student.
